Zein-Eddine Meziani (Temple University) Host: Chuck Lane Spin Structure of the Nucleon and QCD. Abstract: In the last 20 years the investigation of the spin structure of the nucleon spawned a very productive experimental and theoretical activity with exciting results and new challenges. This investigation has included a variety of aspects, such as testing Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD), the theory of strong interactions in its perturbative regime via spin sum rules (like the Bjorken sum rule) and understanding how the spin of the nucleon is build from the intrinsic degrees of freedom of the theory, namely quarks and gluons. Results from a new generation of experiments performed at Jefferson Lab seeking to address key issues in the nucleon spin structure and QCD will be presented. The extension of this spin physics program using the 12 GeV upgrade of Jefferson Lab will be also discussed.
